I am still for standardizing place=village and the use of place:PH=barangay for the purpose of synchronizing political designation to the global tag. This will prevent re-evaluating each of the barangays in the country that are already present in OSM and deciphering if it will be tagged as a village or hamlet etc. by new mappers who are not adept with population figures. And changing every map derived for OSM just to fit to this change would cause more time to consume. Its population can be placed in the population tag anyway.
Anything that is smaller than a barangay such as a sitio/purok can be tagged as a place=hamlet and place:PH=sitio Ervin M.
